Tataupa Tinamou
Crypturellus tataupa
Small tinamou with a red bill, purplish legs, purple back, gray head, and a black-and-white vent. Similar to Small-billed Tinamou, but the song starts with a fast trill “trri trri trri” and ends with a loud descending “trru trru trru.” Prefers moist forests including second growth and dense forest edges.
识别特征
The tataupa tinamou is approximately 25 cm (9.8 in) in length. Its upper parts are dark brown, with a dark brown crown, a pale grey throat. It has darker grey on the sides of its head, neck, and breast, with a bu belly buff. Its bill and legs are purplish red.
分类信息
All tinamou are from the family Tinamidae, and in the larger scheme are also ratites. Unlike other ratites, tinamous can fly, although in general, they are not strong fliers. All ratites evolved from prehistoric flying birds, and tinamous are the closest living relative of these birds.<p>The Tataupa tinamou has four subspecies as follows:

行为
Like other tinamous, the tataupa tinamou eats fruit off the ground or low-lying bushes. They also eat small amounts of invertebrates, flower buds, tender leaves, seeds, and roots. The male incubates the eggs which may come from as many as 4 different females, and then will raise them until they are ready to be on their own, usually 2–3 weeks. The nest is located on the ground in dense brush or between raised root buttresses.
保护状况
The IUCN classifies this tinamou as Least Concern, with an occurrence range of 4,900,000 km2 (1,900,000 sq mi).

Black-throated Grosbeak
Saltator fuliginosus
A largely grayish grosbeak found in the middle to upper levels of humid and montane forests. Males are slaty-blue overall with a black face and throat contrasting with a bright red bill. Females are duller and lack the black face, but have a bright red bill. The song is a melodic series of whistles.
Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch
Sitta cinnamoventris
Often seen clambering up or headfirst down trees, this small active bird is usually found in the middle levels of the forest, though it will descend down toward the ground on occasion. Gray above and warmly-colored below throughout its range; eastern birds are paler below than western birds, the males of which have dark rusty bellies. Western birds also sport a bright contrasting white moustache. Lack of bright white patch on the tail distinguishes this species from White-tailed Nuthatch. A species of hill and submontane forests, where it favors lightly wooded areas of both broadleaf deciduous and pine forests. Often detected by its quick, echoing trill.
Streaked Tit-Spinetail
Leptasthenura striata
Fairly common on western slopes of the Andes and in interior valleys, favoring drier habitats with weedy brush on rocky slopes, and also agricultural areas with hedges and thickets. Often in pairs, foraging low in weedy brush, where can be hard to see well; agile and often active, clinging upside down at tips of branches. Identified by boldly streaked crown and back, weakly patterned or mostly plain underparts, and very long spiky-tipped tail. Compare with the bulkier Andean Tit-Spinetail (local overlap in Peru).
